Just to make sure y’all know: this blog will no longer see new posts (after this one). I’ll be updating at:
The Shrinking Man
Please update your bookmarks accordingly. Thanks for your eyeballs (unless you poked one out at play — you know what your mom always said), and join me at my new home. It’s nice, clean and has that new-car smell!
Again, the new blog is at:
The Shrinking Man

I normally don’t channel Britney Spears, but her song title really applies here.
I did it again … as in, I lied again.
I had no idea it was so easy to import and export blogs here at WordPress. It took me all of 5 minutes to do the export/import thing (and register a new blog at the same time). So all of the old posts are now at the new blog.
By the way, here’s the title:
The Shrinking Man
My reaction to it? I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me.
So bye bye, GizmoSherpa. You’ve been good to me. Now I’m on to The Shrinking Man. Please visit my new blog, as this one has officially been de-activated. I will keep the old posts up here, though, for as long as WordPress lets me.

… about posting once before I move to a new blog (and take all of my stuff with me, because it is my stuff, ya know).
I’m actually going to write two postings. One (this one) is the one I promised on a great protein mix that I’m using in conjunction with Smart for Life compliant, while exercising at the same time. The other will be an update on my weight loss after two weeks of exercising while on the Smart for Life (S4L) program. The question I’ll be answering is: Can you actually lose weight and exercise while being on S4F, considering that they all but forbid you to exercise while on it?
All right, here we go on the protein mix.

Wow, I’ve been busy. Tres busy. Too busy (so far) to make the move I said I would do in the blog entry below this one. My apologies about that. I know you’ve probably come across blogs that apologize about not posting, and think, “wow, that’s lame.” But mine is sincere, so the lameness is gone! Kind of.
In fact, I’m just dipping in here now very quickly, as we have really high winds here today and the power has already gone out twice on me. Hopefully, it’ll stay up long enough for me to post this.
For those keeping score, I’m still on Smart for Life, and have now lost almost 55 pounds. That’s in about 4 months’ time. Not bad, eh? I’m back into clothes I haven’t been able to fit into for quite a while. I’ve already had a suit and some pants taken in, and I’ve got two blazers I like but are too big, so they’re up next on the tailor’s form. Plus, I’ve gone through two belts. We’re talking gone completely through two belts. Yee hah!

…and we’re movin’ to Beverleeee…
After much deliberation, I’ve decided I’m going to change the focus of my blogging efforts. I’m changing from being an all-tech kinda guy to focusing on just my experiences with the Smart for Life (S4L) program.
This means I’ll be closing down GizmoSherpa for the new blog. Why? Well, doing a gizmo-related site would have been very time consuming. And after examining the blog landscape, I determined that there are plenty of other people out there covering the same thing…and doing it well.
Fear not, though. I’ll not only keep the current blog up for as long as I can, I’ll post an update for where I’m going, Web address-wise, as I haven’t decided as to a name for the new blog yet.
Sudden thought - if you have an idea for a new name, please post it in the Comments section. I’d really appreciate it. So far, I’ve come up with “Smart for Life Guy,” “Smart for Life Life” (search engines won’t like that one) and “Living on Six Cookies a Day” (which, actually, isn’t technically correct, but it is rather darned catchy, eh?).
Meantime, I’m doing very well on the Smart For Life program. I’m up to 35 lbs. lost, and it is still doing very well. Thanks for asking, crinklynose!

…that I haven’t updated recently. With work and the holidays, I’ve been too busy. I’ve commented in the article below about my progress. Let’s just say that I’m still doing well, especially considering it is the holidays.
I’m fully planning on posting more after the holiday season. I’m also considering doing a few things that will take this blog to new heights. Thanks.

Completely forgot to update with my stats from yesterday; apologies for that. That’s why I’m posting so late - I had your basic “ohmygod” thought before hitting the pillow tonight.
One word describes it all - wow!

Day 5, and the muscle cramps have gone away. It’s definitely not good to have your arm essentially vapor lock on you so you can’t move it! Thank good ness they’re gone.
I also spoke with the doctor at the local Smart for Life office (here’s the national company’s Web site). I’ve got to tell you, it’s really nice to have a doctor there with you, every step along the way. They get an “EE” from me (exceeds expectations).

Well, today begins Day 4 of the Smart for Life diet — otherwise known as the Cookie Diet (link goes to my local DC office). While I’d call the overall experience “mixed” right now, there’s lots of room for hope. Around 140 lbs. worth of room.
What’s more, I’m not giving up.

There’s another two words you wouldn’t normally see in the same sentence. But that’s the idea behind a diet (you may have heard of) that’s combines cookies with a low-calorie, low-fat diet that has you eating at least seven times a day.
